re: How often did your family go "out to eat" at a restaurant when you were a kid?

We only went out maybe once a month as a kid.
It's once a week for us for dining out, but we pick up food from restaurants or little delis and such a few times a week as well.

Then
Once a week, maybe.
Now
More than that, depends on week, though.

Growing up, probably once a week. But it was at much different places than I eat now.
Currently, we probably go to dinner or get takeout 2-3 times per week.

Sunday after church. Sometimes twice during a week, but not often.

We would go out to eat like once a never.

Maybe once a month and usually at Shoneys. One other day a month we might get a bucket of KFC takeout. And that my friends was a good day.
Side note, didn't grow up in an area where Popeyes existed.

Maybe once every other week , if that

As a kid? Probably less than once a month. Home cooking all the time
Posted on 10/6/23 at 10:07 am to sidewalkside
Maybe 1 times every 1-2 months when I was a kid. Probably 3-5 times in that period if you include fast food.
Now, probably 15 times a month. Almost no meals besides breakfast do we eat at home Fri-Sun, but we only eat 1 meal post-breakfast on those days usually late lunch/early dinner.

About once or twice a year as a kid, more when we were on vacation. My dad would take my brother and I out for steak when we went Christmas shopping for my mom. He liked to eat at Pizza Hut and Bonanza or Ponderosa on vacation.
Mrs and I eat out at least two dinners per week but are scaling back, prices are ridiculous.

About once a month on Wednesday nights. It was at the local restaurant my sister worked at. It was all you can eat fried fish night.
The only time I would get McDonalds was when I would go to my aunt's house who would always take me there. Other than that, the only time we went to McDonalds would be on a Sunday evening during the summer to get an ice cream.

There was a place in Vidalia called the fish fry probably 30 years ago that was there until I went to college. We would go there damn near every Saturday night for years when I was a kid. God damn they had AWESOME fried catfish. Actual catfish, they didn’t just call it that and then give you some Asian trash fish.
That’s the kind of place I look for if I am on the road. I tip the waitress before hand to get a pitcher of tea for my table and to keep the fish coming. Whole. Been years though.
When I was in college they had some black folks that had a lunch counter. Since I brought her ducks, rabbits , coons and fish they would always feed me for free.

An actual sit down restaurant? 3-4 times per month, usually after church on Sundays. Even then, the bill may have only been like $25-$30 for a family of 5 (my two younger sisters always split an entree)
Anything else, my mom cooked or we would grab a few $1 burgers/sandwiches from a value menu somewhere after an evening event/outing.
ETA: I eat out probably 4-5 times a week (mostly for lunch during work hours). I usually cook my own dinners at home unless I'm out for the evening with friends (which isn't often these days
)

It wouldn't even be so bad if the quality wasn't absolute crap these days. It costs so much more and the food is just shite.

Until I was in the 9th grade every Friday night.
Now 2-3x a week

At most, once per year, and even then, it was Piccadilly. My mother cooked every day. When I went to LSU, I had no idea how to conduct myself in a restaurant that wasn't Piccadilly.
